Worth knowing

In its tenth year as of the most recent reporting; run by Wyoming State Parks in partnership with county libraries statewide.

How it works in practice

Passes circulate like books: a limited number per branch, usually one checkout per household, with holds allowed and loan periods of one to three weeks. Summer weekends empty the shelf first — place a hold early. And remember the pass covers day-use entry only; camping is a separate booking and fee everywhere.
